Over the course of two days, a mentally healthy woman was held in two different psychiatric hospitals, where she was injected with sedatives and unknown drugs because she practiced Falun Gong. After she was released, her health steadily declined, her memory was hazy from time to time, and she eventually lost her ability to take care of herself. She died in the early hours of July 28, 2025. The 38-year-old woman is survived by her newly-wed husband.
Ms. Liu Binghuan, a native of Jinan City, Shandong Province, faced repeated persecution for her faith over the years. She served one year of forced labor between 2008 and 2009. After another arrest on December 30, 2021, she was detained for one day. To avoid further persecution, she moved to Yangshan County, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province.
Officers from the Yangshan County Domestic Security Office and the Chengbei Police Station broke into Ms. Liu’s rental home on the morning of June 14, 2022, and arrested her and another practitioner, Mr. Zhong Yongxing. The two were held in the police station for two days before being given five days of administrative detention. Ms. Liu was released on bail after being denied admission by the lockup due to high blood pressure.
The police kept close surveillance on Ms. Liu and seized her again on the night of September 29, 2024. They took her to the Cihang Psychiatric Hospital in Yangshan County, where she was tied up and repeatedly injected with sedatives.
The police took her to the Qingxin Detention Center the next day, but she was denied admission after a mandatory physical exam revealed she had a systolic blood pressure of over 200 mmHg (120 or lower is normal). Instead of releasing her, the police took her to the Qingyuan City Third People’s Hospital (another psychiatric hospital). She was again injected with sedatives, plus other unknown drugs. She experienced temporary loss of memory and became dazed and confused.
Her younger brother, Mr. Liu Binglei, rushed to Yangshan County from Shandong Province on October 1, 2024. He checked with all local detention centers but couldn’t find her. At 11 p.m. on October 3, his sister and an officer from Jinan City called him. Both notified him to go to the Qingyuan City Third People’s Hospital to process Ms. Liu’s discharge.
Mr. Liu noted that his sister appeared haggard and weak. She said she had been on a hunger strike since her arrest. The Jinan officer called again and insisted that Mr. Liu be his sister’s guarantor to have her released either on bail or under house arrest. Both he and Ms. Liu refused to agree to this, but the Jinan officer and his counterparts in Yangshan put Ms. Liu under house arrest anyway and threatened to go after her later on.
The Yangshan police continued to harass Ms. Liu and her family, including a friend and his family, both at home and over the phone.
Ms. Liu never recovered and died on July 28, 2025. She was predeceased by her mother, Ms. Li Sufang, who also practiced Falun Gong. Ms. Li was sentenced to five years in 2017 for talking to people about Falun Gong. She developed high blood pressure due to the mental pressure and physical torture and passed away in late 2019.
